Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Suspension BAT vs Koni...

Well, it appears that some are gas-charged and some are not, according to their application table.

As for the the rebound adjustment, again, according to Koni's graph, both rebound and compression are affected. Have I misunderstood the meaning of "single adjustable?"

I've read the same stuff, but I never paid close attention to Koni's app chart, or that dyno graph.

Only the rebound area is adjustable, compression is not varied by the adjuster- see the below graph from the Koni website:



The yellow area is for the Sports externally adjustable range- compression and rebound are labelled to the right of the graph. Go here for the full page:http://www.koni.com/_cars/_general_info/technology/damping_forces.html

Below is a cross sectional diagram from the same site of a top adjustable Koni Sport damper- note the gas reservoir (in blue). Follow the link below the image for the full page, and then click on figure B.
